Grunff's amazing powers of deduction get better by the day :) Derrick, Have you been through the process of returning the original parts onto the car and replacing them one by one? Stating the obvious, but are you *sure* you've got the rotor arm on correctly. Look into the back of the rotor arm and offer up the profile to the distributor and push firmly on. Likewise, the cap - it only fits on properly in one orientation. Is the HT lead from the coil to the cap sufficiently pushed in at both ends? Have you got correct OEM specification replacements? What about the power connector to the distributor? Was that removed to get at the distributor cap and has not been re-seated since? I've done that a couple of times. [OT: Grunff (or other well informed chaps) - what does this power connection do, since the engine still turns and the sparks still spark (I think), but the engine will not fire.] This one's quite a mystery.
